Observing the Preciousness and Rarity of Wisdom

"Many highly intelligent people tend to rely more on intuition rather than rational thinking when making decisions." This is the understanding of worldly people, so why is it that none of us many Buddhist practitioners have such observational power and insight? Including all the Buddhist masters.

Those in society who engage in philosophy, psychology, and sociology possess extraordinary observational wisdom, far surpassing the practitioners in our Buddhist community. Why is the wisdom of people in Buddhist circles so feeble? The various debaters, professional and amateur alike, have powers of thought and observation that are painful to behold. They only know how to rely on people, not on the Dharma. With such weak observational power, how could they possibly rely on the Dharma? If all kinds of elites from society came to study and practice Buddhism, what would Buddhism look like?
